Murder and Magick on All Romance eBooks

I just noticed that Dark Desires of the Druids: Murder & Magick is #1 under Historical Other on All Romance eBooks! With a nifty silver star...what does that star mean? Anyone know? I'll have to scour their site.

Historical Other...I guess they got tired of categorizing historicals, there are a lot and they already have Historical--Ancient, America, Gothic, Regency, and Medieval. I'm thinking they should have Historical 20th Century, too. I hate to say it, makes me feel old, but the 20th century is of the past...and enough on that particular topic!

Oh, neat! OK, the silver star means "ARe Best Seller: This means that the title has either been a Category Best Seller or a Top 10 Best Seller"

I'm good with being a category best seller!

Go Green! Read an eBook!

I'm all about recycling. I believe it's up to us to protect the planet and up to us to educate everyone else on how to, too. But this isn't a blog about how reducing-reusing-recycling are important.

This is about buying a ebook! Don't get me wrong, I love books - paperback, hardcover, ebooks, audiobooks, it's the story I love, the characters, the plot, the piece itself. I listen to audios, read off my computer, buy paperbacks, and enjoy each incarnation of the book.

Buy an ebook - download it to your computer or iPod or MP3 player. Read it on your Sony Reader or Kindle. All Romance eBooks began a campaign "to increase the public's awareness about eBooks!"

Palm Harbor, Florida (PRWEB) February 26, 2009 - The folks at All
Romance eBooks, an on-line bookstore that specializes in the sale of romance
eBooks, announced a new endeavor today, the Go Green/Read e campaign.

"The idea is to promote ebooks in general, not any specific author,
publisher, eReader, or bookstore. The campaign will focus on eBooks as a more
environmentally friendly alternative to print. On-line advertising will be
comprised of banner and video advertising, Yahoo and Google Search Ads, MySpace
Ads, the What's Hot in Romance radio show,
the Wildfire newsletter, a variety of blogs and the newly unveiled Go
Green/Read e website," explained Lori James, COO for All Romance eBooks.

The project is supported by a generous donation from All Romance
eBooks, and a team of enthusiastic volunteers. The website, www.gogreenreade.com, contains information
about the environmental impact of eBooks v print books, as well as an array of
relevant links, industry news, and several forums where issues around eBooks,
eReaders, and ePublishing can be discussed.

"We chose to do this because the idea that nature should be preserved
is important to us. It is a core value and one of the reasons that we adore
eBooks," explained All Romance eBooks CFO, Barbara Perfetti. "We care about our
carbon footprint, the world we live in, and the world that we're leaving to
future generantions."

All Romance eBooks, LLC (www.allromanceebooks.com) sells romance
eBooks for hundreds of publishers and their imprints. Founded in 2006 and
privately held in partnership, All Romance eBooks is headquartered in Palm
Harbor, Florida.

All Romance e-books & Free $5 gift certificate @ Ravenous

I just got an email from All Romace eBooks and my first full-length story, Dark Desire of the Druids I: Murder & Magick is now available on their site! This is pretty exciting, and no not because I'm easily excited. Well maybe. I'd heard about Fictionwise, but not this. Man, they have a lot of cool books I'd love to download. My TBR pile is huge as is, this just upped the ante.

Off to explore!

Now on to Ravenous:

I've heard a lot of negative things about Ravenous Romance over the past few months. I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but it seems to boil down to a new player on the block and people don't like it. I don't know why, exactly, but I'm not going to debate it here.

What I do know about Ravenous is that they've treated me well. They stick to their deadlines, edit my stories to catch what I've missed, are professional and courteous, and are always accessible via email.

They're also giving away a $5 gift certificate between now and January 31. Simply email them requesting your gift certificate. There are no strings (and believe me I looked).

Dark Desire of the Druids I: Murder & Magick is available in downloadable and audiobook form now, as is Dark Desire of the Druids: The Tryst, the prequel to Murder & Magick. Use the gift certificate, buy Murder & Magick (or Tryst or any of the other short stories I have out including the first in my Wicked Seduction series, Complicated Courtship) and let me know how you like them.
